Description

Product Overview: GE IC694MDL740
The GE IC694MDL740 is a 16-point isolated DC output module engineered for GE’s RX3i PACSystems platform, delivering reliable control in industrial automation environments. Designed for applications requiring precise voltage regulation, this module supports 12/24 VDC operation and is ideal for activating solenoids, relays, and small motors in manufacturing, energy, and process control systems. Its positive logic design ensures stable signal transmission by sourcing current directly from the backplane, eliminating the need for external power supplies in many setups .

 

With 16 output channels grouped into two banks of eight, the IC694MDL740 allows flexible configuration for distributed control. Each channel handles 0.5A continuous current (2A per group), making it suitable for driving inductive loads while maintaining signal integrity. The module’s LED indicators provide real-time status feedback for each channel, enabling quick diagnostics and reducing downtime during maintenance .

 

Integrated into the RX3i platform, the IC694MDL740 leverages GE’s robust isolation technology (250 VAC continuous) to protect against electrical noise and voltage spikes. This ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial settings, including factories with high electromagnetic interference. The module’s compact design (approximately 10.4 x 5.1 x 5.6 inches) optimizes space in control cabinets, while its lightweight construction (1 kg) simplifies installation .

Main Features and Advantages: GE IC694MDL740
The GE IC694MDL740 excels in high-precision DC control applications, offering robust performance and ease of integration. Its 16 isolated channels allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices, while the 0.5A per-channel capacity ensures reliable switching for solenoids, relays, and low-power motors. Unlike AC modules, the IC694MDL740 eliminates the need for external snubbers due to its inherently stable DC output, reducing installation complexity .

 

A key advantage is its configurable grouping. The two-channel banks can be independently powered, allowing partial system operation during maintenance or fault isolation. The module’s positive logic design simplifies wiring by sourcing current directly from the backplane, minimizing reliance on external power sources. Additionally, the LED indicators on the front panel provide instant feedback on channel status, streamlining troubleshooting .

 

The IC694MDL740’s rugged construction ensures durability in harsh environments. Its isolation features protect against voltage transients, while the operating temperature range (0°C to 60°C) makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The module’s compact size and lightweight design further enhance its versatility, fitting seamlessly into space-constrained control panels .

 

Installation and Maintenance: GE IC694MDL740
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the IC694MDL740, power off the RX3i system and verify CPU compatibility (v3.50 or higher). Select the appropriate spring-style terminal block (e.g., IC694TBS32) and ensure the backplane provides 5 VDC power. Configure the module’s output groups based on load requirements, using the dip switch on the rear panel to select positive logic. Secure the module in an RX3i rack slot, ensuring proper alignment with the backplane connectors .

 

Maintenance Suggestions:
Regular inspections are critical for the IC694MDL740’s longevity. Quarterly checks should include verifying terminal block tightness, inspecting for corrosion, and cleaning dust from vents. If replacing modules, power off the system and use anti-static measures to prevent ESD damage. Faulty channels can be isolated by referencing the LED indicators; replace the entire module if multiple channels fail. For urgent replacements, our global supply chain ensures rapid fulfillment of IC694MDL740 units, even for discontinued models .

 

Application Fields: GE IC694MDL740
